Re: Code Designer Assumptions -- CODE400-L

Hi Mark,
I have dug into it.
If you remove all of the SKIP and SPACE checkmarks and then make this
creation default, you have changed a relative record to an absolute
record. Unfortunately there is no way in the GUI to reverse this.
However this is how you can get out of your predicament.
Run REGEDIT.exe from the command line to edit your windows registry.
Delete this entry.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\ADTS Client Server for AS/400\Code
Designer\Styles\Relative Record\Creation Default
Your creation defaults will go back to the installation defaults. You can
then modify them to whatever you want.

Remember that you must have at least one SKIP or SPACE keyword for it to
be a relative record.

Hope this helps.

Ah, Oh. I must have done something wrong. Now when try to insert a
Relative
Record it inserts as Absolute. Now What?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark,
Yes there is a way of changing the default in CODE Designer
1) Create a relative record.
2) Go to its properties notebook (F4 or double click)
3) On the second tab which is called 'Position' set the SKIP and SPACE
keywords to the default that you want when you create a new record. Note
that you have to have at least one SKIP or SPACE keyword selected
otherwise it is an absolute record which is a different beast.
4) Go the last tab which is called 'Styles' and select 'Creation defaults'
and push the 'Redefine' button.

Note you can create multiple named styles here and 'Reset' the current
record to that named style.

This is a very powerful feature.

This same feature will help you when you are creating database reference
fields (there is also a Styles tab on the properties). Many people have
not discovered this powerful feature.

Congratulations.

Is there anyway to either edit or turn off the defaults that Code/400
makes
when adding certain elements. Like when adding a record to a printer file,
it assumes a space before and the last field assumes 2 spaces after. I
would like to set my own spacing.

Thanks,

Mark
